NTP 4.1.1a 2. Sendmail 8.12.4 3. tar 1.13.25 or whatever is the most updated 'stable' version. 4. GCC 2.95.3 & 3.1 selections in GUI (whatever is the most reliable) 5. OpenSSH 3.2.3 and OpenSSL 0.9.6c/d 6. Samba 2.2.4 7. Nvidia recent drivers (test these with Xfree86 4.2.x) on Quadro/geforce boards I just notice that this was some of the current issues we are having besides the basic/advanced base system testing. Some of this was already done but listed here for reference. I know FreeBSD isn't intended to be a Solaris 9 for the free world (or is it?!?) and I know we all have problems with hardware issues (the most common). Is there an easier way to put all our issues together in a simple doc to compile the information needed to make improvements for the 4.6 release?!?
